Women's Lacrosse Races Past Mt. St. Vincent in Skyline Opener, 19-5

Montclair, NJ (3/20/10) – Junior attack Kayla Henderson (Landing, NJ / Roxbury)
scored four goals and was one of 10 different Montclair State players
to find the back of the net as the Red Hawks raced past Mount St.
Vincent, 19-5 in the Skyline Conference opener for both teams at
Sprague Field on Saturday afternoon.

Junior Meghan Spitzer (Mount Olive, NJ / Mount Olive) scored three times and assisted on two other goals as Montclair improved to 2-3 overall, 1-0 in the Skyline Conference.

Jesse Mitchell (Suffern, NY / Suffern) and Kelly Martin (Stony Point,
NY / North Rockland) had two goals apiece for the Dolphins, who dropped
to 0-3 on the season (0-1 Skyline).

Mount St. Vincent took a 1-0 lead with 25:28 to play in the opening
half as Mitchell fed Martin in front for the game’s first goal.
Montclair would respond quickly as Maggie Fallon (Cherry Hill, NJ / Camden Catholic) tied
the contest 20 seconds later on an unassisted tally. Julia Caro
(Mamaroneck, NY / Mamaroneck) put the Dolphins back in front at 5:20 of
the game, however Montclair would run off the next 10 goals en route to
a 14-3 halftime advantage.

Freshman Kailee Beal (Succasunna, NJ / Roxbury)
started the run with an unassisted goal and Henderson scored the first
and last of three man-advantage goals as MSU led 8-2 with 18:28 to go
before intermission. Henderson would add her third goal in the run and
then assisted on Beal’s second of the game to make the score 10-2 with
6:43 to play. Spitzer capped off the run with a free-position marker.

The Red hawks are back in action on Wednesday, March 24 as they host
Farmingdale State at Sprague Field in a 7:00 pm matchup. The game will
be a rematch of last year’s Skyline Conference Championship Game won by
the Rams, 16-13 ending Montclair’s three-year reign as conference
champions. Farmingdale is the only Skyline team to defeat the Red Hawks
since the league’s inception in 2006.
